Victims of abuse and trafficking often had only the clothes they were wearing so our club began putting together new start bags and care bags which give some clothing and other items to women and girls when they were very vulnerable. Since 2016, we have provided 132 new start bags and 127 care bags.<\/p>\n<p>At the Northumbria Police Awards Evening on 24th March 2025, we were honoured to receive a Chief Constable&#8217;s Commendation recognising the contribution the new start bags and care bags have made to women and girls and some of our members were delighted to attend on behalf of the club to receive the award.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to everyone, members, friends and the community, who support our club&#8217;s work in putting together the new start bags and care bags, whether it&#8217;s through organising fund raising events, donating, shopping and delivering. Working together, we make a difference.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/tynemouth\/files\/2025\/04\/NP-2.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5570\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/tynemouth\/files\/2025\/04\/NP-2-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/tynemouth\/files\/2025\/04\/NP-2-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/tynemouth\/files\/2025\/04\/NP-2.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/tynemouth\/files\/2025\/04\/NP-4.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5574\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/tynemouth\/files\/2025\/04\/NP-4-300x248.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/tynemouth\/files\/2025\/04\/NP-4-300x248.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/tynemouth\/files\/2025\/04\/NP-4.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/tynemouth\/files\/2025\/04\/NP-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5572 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/tynemouth\/files\/2025\/04\/NP-1-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sigbi.org\/tynemouth\/files\/2025\/04\/NP-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sigbi.org\/tynemouth\/files\/2025\/04\/NP-1.jpeg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2016, at the height of Operation Sanctuary, an investigation into child sexual exploitation and&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":625,"featured_media":5573,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Northumbria Police honours our club&#039;s work | News | Blog | Events | SI Tynemouth, Whitley Bay and District<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Tynemouth, Whitley Bay and District : Blog &amp; News : Northumbria Police honours our club&#039;s work : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Tynemouth, Whitley Bay and District .
